This kind of disinformation/title clickbait needs to be flagged. Use proper numbers, "population of Iceland" is not a valid unit. This tactic is used disingenously to trick people into thinking that the number is much higher

Styrofoam is biodegradable if you think long term. 500 years is nothing and it's very manageable. If you genuinely come up with something better and are able to get into the market, that's great... but don't try to sell &quot

I don't pay for fake news. If I pay $20 per year to Washington Post, will they suddenly start posting news that is detrimental to Bezos and Co.? No they won't. All news is propaganda (and that includes everything posted on Hacker

Well, as long as it is run centrally, it can never be "global consciousness". Even if you trust Musk to run it in an open and transparent fashion, there is no guarantee that this will continue to happen after he's gone. The s

Meh! Those "revolutions" by a single person are way too overrated. Oftentimes, things happen in science because other things that happen make it possible to happen. As long as enough people are working on these things, they are in
